Hello,
I have successfully put up a transparent, alpha transparency flash movie on my site.
Very awesome effect.
My question is how would I go about getting a shadow effect on the movie much like the popup video on this site: www.rovion.com
Im guessing it is the same video, just offset a bit, tinted black with transparency applied but I cannot apply color effects to my video?
Any ideas?
you'll need to apply the drop shadow in your video editing software. if you try and run 2 videos on top of each other people's systems will be zapped of all resources..
Or put the video into a movie clip and apply a shadow filter to the movie clip.
thanks for the reply guys, I did some further research and found that this type of effect is done when creating the video but only available when using Ultra CS2.
Not sure if that is true or not, and the program has been discontinued...
Hi amievil,
I use dropshadows all the time when making video presenters for client websites etc (just like www.videopersons.com) one of my other websites (www.JoopMedia.com) also has a website presenter (me ;)) which does not have a drop shadow... I use Adobe Premier Pro video editing software to Key out the subject / talent, then add a drop shadow, then export as a (cropped) flv with alpha channel encoded, job done...
Not sure if that helps but that's how i do all mine.
Cheers
Andy
interesting!
I use premiere too.
How do you get the drop shadow effect?
RGB Difference?
thanks for this!
could you make a copy of the keyed out track, set it to black and then apply a gaussian blur?

think i figured it out,
drop shadow is under "perspective" in premeire COOL!
